QUESTIONS WITHOUT NOTICE

Senator FARRELL (South Australia—Minister for Trade and Tourism, Special Minister of State and Deputy Leader of the Government in the Senate) (14:10): I thank Senator Ananda-Rajah for her second supplementary question. Australians deserve to have choice about what they see in their algorithm. Some people will choose to continue to have these settings and recommendations on, and some people will choose not to.

That of course is their right, as it should be. We are giving them that choice through the digital duty of care, which will include tools to empower users through an Australian-first 'my feed, my way' initiative. Under our draft laws, social media platforms will be required to send a notification to new and existing users offering them a choice over their default feed.

This is about giving Australians more choice in what they see online. The Albanese government continues to lead the world when it comes to online safety, and we're very proud of that.
